There was nothing Stephanie possibly had to talk about with Olivia. Might as well go straight for the jugular

But since Chris had come to her personally, there was no doubt in her mind that Olivia still wasn’t behaving, even with three kinds of cancer.

“Guess God hasn’t been hard enough on her yet, she wondered.

Since Olivia wanted to stir up trouble, fine. Stephanie would play along.

“Hold on, let me make a call first,” she said.

“To who?” Chris asked.

To my baby. Can’t I check in with him about my plans?” Stephanie said.

Chris nearly choked on his own breath, feeling like he might just drop dead right there. “You have gone.

Before he could finish, Stephanie shoved him aside and stepped away to dial Sebastian.

The call connected quickly, and Sebastian’s smooth, gentle voice came through “Off work already?”

“I’m heading to the hospital for a bit. Should be back in about half an hour. Are you home yet?”

“Not yet,” he said.

“Okay, then I’ll head over first, bye,” she smiled.

“You’re going to mess with the Hart family? You that bored?” Sebastian joked.

Stephanie muttered, “Can’t exactly leave without playing them badly first” With that, she ended the call. After all, she had unfinished business with the Hart family, especially Olivia.

Best–case scenario, Olivia would just drop dead before Stephanie left for Fiorenza. If not, Stephanie would personally make sure Olivia ended up in prison.

Just as she turned around, her phone rang again, Ella.

Stephanie picked up. “Hello, Ella.

“I saw an emerald I liked and sent it to you. Help me check it,” Ella said.

“Don’t have time right now. Send it over, and I’ll check later, said Stephanie.

“What are you busy with?” Ella asked.

“Olivia’s at it again,” she said.

Ella paused for a beat. Olivia was such a drama queen. ‘She has three types of cancer and still has the energy to act up?”
